Lifting and Firming

Light Emitting Diode (LED) phototherapy is the application of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits. Originally developed by NASA for astronauts who could become injured or ill on a long-term space flight, the technology is used today as a safe and natural method of treating a variety of skin conditions.

According to multiple studies there are 4 things important to understand about LED treatments.
1. The wavelengths. Blue light should be 465nm. Red light should be 640nm and near-infrared should be 880nm.

2. The amount of energy the device uses to deliver the light should be very low. A pulsed energy is more effective. than a constant energy. During the pulsed light energy, the cells get to rest and will absorb more of the energy.

3. Treatment time should be between 20-30 minutes.

4. The proximity to the skin. The light should be delivered from no more than an inch from the skin. If the proximity to the skin is increased by an additional inch, the light energy is decreased by 4 times.

The Celluma LED therapy addresses all 4 points listed above. It delivers blue, red, and near-infrared light energy simultaneously. Each wavelength is absorbed by different molecules that act as a signaling mechanism for different processes. That allows us to address multiple skin issues with ease.

Each treatment is 30 minutes. It can be a stand alone treatment ($50) or added to any of our other existing services for a discounted price of $40.

What are the immediate results following a Venus Freeze treatment?
When collagen fibers in the skin are exposed to heat (as during a treatment), their structure is modified and they immediately contract, making the skin tighter. This effect is noticeable upon completion of the first treatment.

How long term are the results after a series of treatments?
The combination of Radio Frequency and Magnetic Pulse catalyzes an increase in the production of collagen and elastin fibers, as well as new dermal blood vessels. This effect, along with the inducement of lipolysis(think busting up your fat cells and releasing them into your blood stream), brings about a healthy looking, smoother skin with improved elasticity and texture. Cellulite and circumferential reduction may also be seen, following the 3rd treatment.

Results are individual and may be difficult to predict. However, clinical studies show continuous improvement after six months.

How many treatments are required to get good clinical results?
Generally, the recommended number of treatment sessions is 6-8 for the face and 8-10 for the body. However, the number of treatments may vary depending on the client’s characteristics.

Do I need maintenance treatments?
One treatment every two – three months are recommended to maintain results.

What is its effect on the fat cell?
(MP)² raises the temperature of the treated area, and induces lipolysis — enzyme-mediated breakdown of triglycerides into glycerol and free fatty acids. These fatty acids pass from the fat cell into the blood stream, and the volume of the cell is reduced. The fatty acids may be metabolized by various cells in the body, or restored again as triglycerides in fat cells.

How effective is the magnetic pulse component of the Venus Freeze and wht is the scientific evidence to support it?
It is well documented that magnetic pulse has a positive effect on wound and bone healing, creation of new small blood vessels (angiogenesis) and collagen production. These clinical effects have been evident in many clinical trials. Furthermore, this non-invasive therapy was approved by the FDA as a safe and effective technology for medical use. The (MP)² uses this technology to dramatically improve skin appearance, via inducement of angiogenesis and collagen production.

What is the difference between the Venus Freeze MP(2) technology and other RF technology?
Other Radio Frequency technologies necessitate the use of active cooling to avoid skin burns. Venus Freeze’s hand-pieces deploy much less power, since its poles work very efficiently and generate focused and homogenous heat with no need of cooling aid and no risk of skin burns.

How does the MP(2) and the RF components of the Venus Freeze work together?
The (MP)² induces the production of collagen via two synergistic mechanisms — the MP component induces the proliferation of fibroblast, who in turn produce collagen, and the RF component creates a controlled thermal damage, and initiates a wound-healing process that involves production of collagen. The result is a significant increase in collagen production.

Used by A-List celebrities and top super models, the Perfector utilizes microcurrent to regenerate cells and re-educate muscles. Perfector has several programs, which enhance cell regeneration, muscle toning, oxygenation, and circulation. Two of the programs are designed for highly efficient lymphatic drainage and detoxification.

The Perfector “whispers” to your cells to increase their regeneration and “talks” to your muscles to re-educate your muscles. Muscles that have become elongated (jowls) will shorten. Muscles that have shortened over time (lip wrinkles) will lengthen and relax. The Perfector is FDA approved and painless. Click here for more information on the Perfector.
